| # doc-split-v1 — open-weight |
|
|
| **Where does one document end and the next begin?** An open-weight page-stream-segmentation model you can |
| download and run: it splits a stream of pages (a scanned batch / merged PDF) back into its constituent |
| documents. |
|
|
| The lightweight, open sibling of the commercial flagship |
| [`doc-split-v2`](https://huggingface.co/nutrientdocs/doc-split-v2) — compact, ~4.5× faster, near-flagship |
| accuracy on our data and multilingual out of the box. Shipped as **ONNX** — runs with `onnxruntime`, no |
| framework or modelling code to install. |

| ## Results — boundary F1 (κ) |
|
|
| Per-page boundary detection, page 0 forced. **This model** vs the private doc-split-v2, the strongest cloud VLM, |
| and prior work. |
|
|
| | Cut | **doc-split-v1** | doc-split-v2 | best cloud VLM | OpenPSS specialist | |
| |---|---|---|---|---| |
| | OpenPSS-short (sparse) | **0.585** (.53) | 0.619 | 0.598 (gemini-flash) | 0.76 | |
| | OpenPSS-long | **0.859** (.82) | 0.886 | 0.244 (gemini-flash) | 0.83 | |
| | our-200 (synthetic) | **0.936** (.78) | 0.934 | 0.942 (gpt-sol) | — | |
| | TABME++ test | **0.704** (.56) | 0.901 | — | — | |
| | Tobacco800 test | **0.820** (.60) | 0.957 | — | — | |
| | val (real-doc) | **0.918** (.86) | 0.908 | — | — | |
|
|
| Beats every evaluated cloud VLM on OpenPSS-**long** (0.859 vs 0.244) at a fraction of the cost, and holds up |
| on our data. TABME++/Tobacco800 are zero-shot for this model (in-domain for doc-split-v2). |

|
| ## What's in this repo |
|
|
| Runs entirely under `onnxruntime` — nothing else to install. |
|
|
| - `image_model.onnx`, `text_model.onnx` — the image and text towers (per-page embeddings). |
| - `head.onnx` — the boundary head (per-page boundary score). |
| - `crf.json` — smoothing parameters for the per-page confidence. |
| - `tokenizer.json` (+ config) — the bundled text tokenizer. |
|
|
| ## Usage (ONNX) |
|
|
| ```python |
| # pip install onnxruntime transformers numpy huggingface_hub |
| import numpy as np, onnxruntime as ort, json |
| from transformers import AutoTokenizer |
| from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download |
| |
| d = snapshot_download("nutrientdocs/doc-split-v1") |
| img = ort.InferenceSession(f"{d}/image_model.onnx", providers=["CPUExecutionProvider"]) |
| text = ort.InferenceSession(f"{d}/text_model.onnx", providers=["CPUExecutionProvider"]) |
| head = ort.InferenceSession(f"{d}/head.onnx", providers=["CPUExecutionProvider"]) |
| tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(d); crf = json.load(open(f"{d}/crf.json")) |
| |
| def _lse(x, ax): |
| m = x.max(ax, keepdims=True); return (m + np.log(np.exp(x - m).sum(ax, keepdims=True))).squeeze(ax) |
| |
| def marginals(bl, crf): # per-page confidence via forward-backward over a 2-tag chain |
| T = np.asarray(crf["trans"]); s = np.asarray(crf["start"]); e_ = np.asarray(crf["end"]) |
| N = len(bl); e = np.stack([np.zeros(N), bl], 1); a = np.zeros((N, 2)); a[0] = s + e[0] |
| for t in range(1, N): a[t] = _lse(a[t-1][:, None] + T, 0) + e[t] |
| b = np.zeros((N, 2)); b[N-1] = e_ |
| for t in range(N-2, -1, -1): b[t] = _lse(T + (e[t+1] + b[t+1])[None, :], 1) |
| m = a + b; m -= m.max(1, keepdims=True); p = np.exp(m); return (p / p.sum(1, keepdims=True))[:, 1] |
| |
| def split(pages, tau=0.5): # pages: list of (PIL image, ocr_text or "") |
| arr = np.stack([(np.asarray(im.convert("RGB").resize((512, 512)), np.float32)/255 - .5)/.5 |
| for im, _ in pages]).transpose(0, 3, 1, 2).astype(np.float32) |
| vi = img.run(["image_embed"], {"pixel_values": arr})[0] |
| b = tok(["query: "+(t or " ") for _, t in pages], padding=True, truncation=True, |
| max_length=512, return_tensors="np") |
| vt = text.run(["text_embed"], {"input_ids": b["input_ids"].astype(np.int64), |
| "attention_mask": b["attention_mask"].astype(np.int64)})[0] |
| g = np.array([1. if (t and t.strip()) else 0. for _, t in pages], np.float32); N = len(pages) |
| vt = vt * g[:, None] # OCR gate: text ignored on pages with no text layer |
| bl = head.run(["boundary_logit"], {"v_img": vi[None], "v_txt": vt[None], |
| "gate": g[None], "mask": np.ones((1, N), np.float32)})[0][0] |
| bl[0] = 30.0 # force page 0 to start a document |
| conf = marginals(bl, crf) # per-page confidence in [0,1] |
| return [1 if (i == 0 or conf[i] >= tau) else 0 for i in range(N)] # 1 = this page starts a new document |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Intended use & limits |
|
|
| **Use it for:** splitting merged/batch-scanned PDFs into documents; routing; pre-processing for |
| classification/extraction. **Limits:** boundary detection only (does not classify document *type*); the |
| sparse low-boundary regime (OpenPSS-short) is hardest; OCR text helps on text-heavy pages. |

|
| ## Calibrated confidence |
|
|
| The raw boundary score is over-confident (a raw 0.85 is really ~63% likely a true boundary). We ship a |
| **beta calibration** (fit on held-out data) so the reported confidence is honest and usable as a threshold: |
|
|
| ``` |
| p_calibrated = sigmoid(a·ln(p) + b·ln(1-p) + c), (a, b, c) = (0.516, -0.402, -0.155) |
| ``` |
| ECE 0.044 → 0.012. The demo applies this and lets you set a minimum-confidence threshold on the calibrated value. |
